Noli me tanger, for Caeser's I am' This sentence must've been buried Along with Sir Thomas WyattDamn language when it doesAttempt to make us a propertyOr annihilate our identity A million no, I'll sayI've been shouting my head offAnd I will always doI am feministI am biasedI am anti-men I give my gender full support, Speak up for my kind, Fight for their rights, Charge their morale And kindle freedom in their spiritsI am praised and glorified Amongst my peers My words are their bible Yet none of them is religiousThey pretend to fightYet none fully act Whom am I fooling? Myself or my gender I am alone in the battle field Where I iron-whip men's honourBut I am afraid that I might regretI might be another' lost cause' Thence, I'll look back in pity For my wasteI'll be another 'Female' In need to belong To love and be loved I'll be forced To step down Shatter my beliefsAnd sail them down the river.I'll lower my voice And whisper, Noli me tanger, 'For Caeser's I am' I won't dare to feel ashamed I won't be humiliated Nor will I feel suffocated By the apostrophe 's' Rather, I'll be proud To be attached To Caeser's name And full of hope To have his surname
